Just checked to see if anything had occurred with a colt I was hoping to follow, Bassanio (Speightstown-Holy Nova), and there is a death report on him for 2015. He was a $200,000 yearling purchase for Juddmonte, and I believe Baffert had him for a short while. He never started. RIP Bassanio.

Fiercely, foaled 1988 (Danzig x Whirl Series), leading Korean sire from 1998 to 2004 and a full brother to Grade 1 winner Furiously, died July 2015.

Kingsky, foaled 1979 (Sportsky x Frumence). This guy doesn't look like he produced much, and he was from Australia so he's not someone we would have heard anything about, but I thought it was worth mentioning because he was over 36 when he died in July 2015--he was exported to Korea in 1982.

But didn't you know they treat their horses so terribly?
